The agreement focuses on developing technical dialogue and expertise around secure, transparent digital finance systems, including cross-border payments and exchange mechanisms.
Under the MoU, the two sides will examine how emerging digital payment architectures, including WLFI’s flagship stablecoin USD1, could be integrated into Pakistan’s financial infrastructure in a regulated manner.
The move supports Pakistan’s wider Digital Pakistan vision to boost financial inclusion, streamline payments, and link the country more closely to global digital finance networks.
Last April, the Trump-backed project formed a partnership with the Pakistan Crypto Council to advance blockchain and decentralized finance in Pakistan.
The collaboration targets the development of regulatory sandboxes for blockchain financial products, tokenization of assets, expansion of stablecoin uses, and strategic advisory on blockchain infrastructure.
